New Covid vaccines, and Harris makes her case

As we approach the end of summer, the health news continues to be buzzing with updates and developments. Here are some of the latest highlights in the world of health and medicine:

Vice President Harris delivered a powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention, emphasizing the importance of protecting health care freedoms and rights. She highlighted the need to safeguard Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act, warning against attempts to roll back progress in these areas.

In response to the surging Covid cases across the country, the FDA has approved new vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna targeting the Omicron variant strain KP.2. These updated vaccines, known as Comirnaty and Spikevax, are approved for individuals aged 12 and older. The companies have announced that the new vaccines will be available in the coming days.

In a groundbreaking development, Columbia University’s medical school received a $400 million donation to establish a new institute for basic biomedical research. The Roy and Diana Vagelos Institute for Basic Biomedical Science will focus on areas such as cell engineering and gene therapy, further advancing research in these critical fields.

On the flip side, an unproven test for fibromyalgia has been pulled off the market after facing scrutiny and legal challenges. The FM/a Test, which claimed to diagnose fibromyalgia with high accuracy, was found to lack scientific validity. This serves as a reminder of the importance of evidence-based testing in healthcare.

In the realm of artificial intelligence in healthcare, there is a growing need for oversight and transparency. Some researchers are advocating for a federal registry similar to clinicaltrials.gov but specifically for AI tools used in healthcare settings. This initiative aims to monitor the impact of AI on treatment decisions and ensure that biases and errors are minimized.

Additionally, the revival of Pear Therapeutics’ apps for substance use treatment by virtual addiction treatment company PursueCare highlights the potential of tech-forward solutions in addressing mental health issues. These apps offer a unique approach to supporting individuals in their treatment journeys and may prove to be valuable tools in the fight against addiction.

As we navigate through these dynamic changes in the healthcare landscape, it is crucial to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments. From vaccine approvals to research funding and technological advancements, the future of healthcare is evolving rapidly, and it is essential to stay ahead of the curve.
